I restore paintings and icons on metal and
wood, but with also want to share a few words about this process.

Restoration of a precious artwork can be thought of as a sick patient
being brought back to health. It requires an examination, a diagnosis,
and a well-thought out plan to return the object to health.

Artwork and family
heirlooms are often exposed to many "illnesses:"
improper storage, climatic change or bad environmental
conditions, wood
pests; other simply deteriorate with time.

I am well-experienced in the processes of restoration: disinfecting the panel, returning its
structural strength, gluing the panel, cleaning the darkened varnish
layer, applying new filling material, retouching the painting and covering
it with the new varnish.
